GRADING SYLLABUS

At Fusion MAC, we take pride in our structured approach to tracking and nurturing each student’s development in the art of kickboxing. Our grading system serves as a vital tool to measure progress and skill mastery within our club. Similar to other martial art schools, our grading system involves a periodic assessment to evaluate the physical and technical proficiency of our students. Successful completion of these assessments results in the award of a coloured belt or sash corresponding to the achieved grade.

Our Approach to Kickboxing Grading

Fusion MAC Belt Structure

Our belt structure is designed to signify the progression and dedication of our students.
The belt order is as follows:

– White (under 8yrs only)
– Red
– Yellow
– Green
– Purple
– Purple/White
– Brown (Senpai)
– Brown/White
– Brown/2White
– Black (Sensei)
(1st Dan, 2nd Dan, 3rd Dan…)

Assessment Criteria

To ensure that each student is adequately prepared for promotion, we have established specific benchmarks that must be met:

1. Attendance: The frequency of training sessions aligns with the level of progression.
2. Competence: Proficiency in grade-appropriate techniques and combinations is a prerequisite for examination.
3. Other Factors: Additional considerations include overall fitness, technical advancement since the last grading, and adherence to the Fusion ethos during training and representation.

Using our GymDesk operating system, every student has the opportunity to log their attendance and track their progress effortlessly at any time.

Scoring Methodology

Our assessments are meticulously structured, with each section being assigned a score. The total score not only determines a pass or fail but also offers insight into the student’s proficiency level:

– 6-9 points: First-class pass, an exceptional achievement.
– 10-18 points: Second-class pass, indicating a satisfactory performance.
– 19-27 points: Third-class pass, highlighting areas for improvement before the next grading.
– 28-30 points: Failed Grading, requiring a retake at a later date.

We believe in fostering a culture of continuous improvement and dedication, encouraging each student to strive for excellence in their kickboxing journey at Fusion MAC.

Creed – Train hard and fight easy with courage, discipline and respect. Show honour and be loyal. Fight for your club, no one else.

COMPETITIONS AND EVENTS

Please ensure you familiarise yourself with the running order and rules for each competition before you attend as each may differ. This will be covered in more detail during the fight squad training sessions. Be sure to take your Fusion MAC uniform and full sparring kit.

Fighters should conduct themselves in a professional manor both on and off the mats. Spectators are asked to keep their support positive and encouraging towards our fighters and refrain from interfering with decisions made by coaches and referees.

Competitions can often last a full day so we advise you take plenty of healthy snacks and drinks. Typically they start with weigh-ins and match-ups before moving on to the younger/lighter competitors. Women and men tend to compete towards the end of the day.

Organised events will specify their own rules and running orders. We advise speaking with your coach if you require further details.
